Domestic water supply – Treatment of drinking water

Health and installation protection

Microplastic particles can enter our ecosystem in a variety of ways and ultimately end up in the domestic water supply. To prevent contamination with these tiny plastic particles, solids and sediments, the use of special filter solutions is recommended. The metal filter media developed by GKD are characterized by their extremely fine mesh pores, which are four times thinner than human hair.

In addition to microplastics, grains of sand and rust particles also pose a risk to drinking water, as they can damage water systems, pipes, and appliances. To avoid this, water pre-filters specially designed for drinking water systems are used. To this end, GKD offers solutions made of high-quality stainless steel, such as the optimized dutch weave. Such filters provide additional protection against contamination with microparticles smaller than 10 μm.
